Thanks for the tip, Jacob! I was indeed back in business about a week later. I will keep seroundtable.com on my quick list for any such situations in the future.

RE: Google not pulling my faviconposted in Technical SEO
Have you tried naming your file favicon.ico (using an ico generator), placing it in the root directory of your site, and making sure it's accessible without SSL (i.e., http://www.example.com/favicon.ico)?

GWT Crawl Error Report Not Updating?posted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
GWT's crawl error report hasn't updated for me since April 25. Crawl stats are updating normally, as are robots.txt and sitemap accesses. Is anyone else experiencing this?

RE: Send noindex, noarchive with 410?posted in Technical SEO
Thanks for the info, mememax. I don't relish the thought of using the removal tool, but I suppose I can actually 301-redirect many of those 410s to category pages and then use the GWT for the rest.

Send noindex, noarchive with 410?posted in Technical SEO
My classifieds site returns a 410 along with an X-Robots-Tag HTTP header set to "noindex,noarchive" for vehicles that are no longer for sale. Google, however, apparently refuses to drop these vehicles from their index (at least as reported in GWT). By returning a "noindex,noarchive" directive, am I effectively telling the bots "yeah, this is a 410 but don't record the fact that this is a 410", thus effectively canceling out the intended effect of the 410?
